THE DISINFORMATION GOVERNANCE BOARD ("THE BUREAU OF DISINFORMATION")
THE DISINFORMATION GOVERNANCE BOARD ("THE BUREAU OF DISINFORMATION")
The Disinformation Governance Board is an “advisory board” of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). It is often referred to colloquially as the Bureau of Disinformation, or The Ministry of Truth, as in Orwell’s novel, 1984, where the operative “truth” was in actuality untruths, associated disinformation, and the propagation of same. (As literate readers will know, and as others need to know, The Ministry of Truth was a propagation machine of untruths; a spreader of disinformation which served the totalitarian state).
Above, I’ve placed the descriptor, “advisory board,” in quotes because this board is widely suspected - as I certainly believe - to be the framework for a punitive agency. (It is likely to be that from its inception). After all - how does “governance” square with “advisement”? Indeed, I believe a transition to a full-blown Federal Department is the ultimate aim, with punitive recommendations and powers.
What will transpire in actuality will be a board that greenlights favored disinformation (that is, lies - lies that support the political Left and its radical agendas), and which penalizes and squelches actual truth, when those truths present exposure and challenge to the Left. True, actual, information - empirical data, news, reports, and anything imparting actual knowledge - will be suppressed according to political agendas, control of the populace, and the desired permanent ensconcement of the radical Left, by the radical Left, within all of our offices and institutions. So, squelched will be the truth which serves, and is necessary to, a free society and citizenry in remaining America as free - via truly educated voters (as paired with fair elections).
New readers can visit (and current readers should revisit) my January column which was, and remains, quite prescient:
[Click → ] It's Coming If We Let It: THE FEDERAL DEPT. of MEDIA, NEWS, and INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
[Note: I’ll have two more predictive - prescient - columns: One to be released in the coming days; the other I’ve yet to determine the release]
The excuse for the creation of this monster is supposedly the protection of national security by combating “foreign” misinformation (accidental dissemination of bad info) and disinformation (the deliberate manufacture and dissemination of same, to include lies, slander, and harm). Sure. In other words, there’s no domestic arm or aim; that’s not the intention: After all, I trust the Federal Government. The one that impeached President Trump (twice!) over manufactured issues originating in Democrats’ malevolence and lies - their disinformation. There’s no way this thing will ever come after you or me for telling the truth about, for example, Covid, Covid drugs masquerading as “vaccines,” bacteria-laden masks, and lockdowns. No worries.
The Biden Administration’s group will be led by Nina Jankowicz. She’s the singing “disinformation expert” who gets the really big ones wrong. Actually, it’s not so much that she doesn’t know any better: She likely knows the truth - however, she follows the agenda in propagating disinformation in service to the radical Democrat Party. She dutifully (from the Dem perspective) labeled the Hunter Biden laptop story Fake News. She was on board with Christopher Steele’s lies. He’s the man (I think he’s a man) who authored the Steele Dossier, the stink of which should preclude Ms. Jankowicz from ever editing a coloring book.
Besides, she has the gravitas and wisdom of a 14-year-old schoolgirl-or boy-or gender-indeterminate creature. Wait - apologies to 14-year-olds, some of whom are quite intelligent and mature: Why, there are some school kids with penises who still identify as boys, and some with vaginas who still identify as girls. Seriously. I’m told. Ms. Jankowicz is really in a class by herself.
What the heck - here she is. If this is your first encounter with her, you may wish to have a barf bag at the ready. Proceed with caution:
Nice, eh? This is what you get, as promoted by Biden, when your President is a senile, febrile, anti-American, hot-flash of a liar and propagandist. It helps that education in our country has been debased to such a degree by decades that we now teach preferred pronouns, drag queen story hour, man-caused “climate change,” racism, elementary sex ed, “identities,” grievance, CRT, and more - to the exclusion of reading, writing, and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math).
When we do get around to the latter, it’s to teach that 2+2 can equal 5, that math is racist, and that the concept of infinity means that there is no end to the LGBTQIAWTF+ alphabet of grievance, and associated heat-sinks for attention at the expense of actual… STEM.
Finish this column quick: I may end up with the Jan. 6th protestors, having been busted for disseminating DISINFORMATION.
Read that January column above. Vote like your American Life counts on it.
IT DOES.
AND SHARE THESE COLUMNS - please.
